Actually I think that JSP tag libraries will change this.
Your web page will call a JSP that has custom tags. You
could put 2 lines of code in a JSP that would allow you
to transform XML into whatever. The Java programmer
would create the tag libraries. Basically a tag library
is Java classes written to the tag library spec and
stored in a jar file. The page designer then calls these
Java programs by using html-like syntax. Very powerful.
There was an excellent article about them in the March
JavaPro magazine.
